Gown France, 1785 Worn by one Miss Weathered The Victoria & Albert Museum
Made in France in 1785, this gown boasts a skirt of printed cotton and an exquisite silk bodice which appears to be two separate garments, although the two are sewn together. The light cotton is printed with a pattern of pine trees, lilacs, dianthus, convolvulus and daisy trails. The bodice, typical of the 1780s, is tight fitting at the back and closes in front.
